NEW YORK (AP) — The family organization of Malcolm X has launched an online store, with items ranging from T-shirts and hoodies to the eventual availability of the late activist's speeches and other writings.

The announcement for www.shopmalcolmx.com (http://www.shopmalcolmx.com/) was made Wednesday by X Legacy, along with the estate's representatives, The North Star Group. Malcolm X's daughter Attallah Shabazz said in a statement that she and other family members had been moved by the "many at home and global citizens" inspired by his commitment to human rights and equality and looked forward "to sharing Malcolm as Malcolm via select products."

Additional merchandise will go on sale Dec. 26, for Kwanzaa, and "speeches, published and unpublished works" are planned next year for Malcolm X's birthday, May 19. He was assassinated in 1965, at age 39.

Gracious! I am humbled to be in the presence of a real-life, dyed-in-the-wool revolutionary anti-capitalist. I’m in awe of the bravery required to attack “the system” at its most vulnerable point: Malcolm X tee-shirts! Stay safe, heroic one! And be sure to put it in your last will & testicle that you don’t want your family selling out in this utterly demeaning manner. Because your image & autograph are going to be golden.

I doubt that you know who Malcolm was.

4. He and Martin were so young when they died.

I didn't realize it at the time because I was just a child but they were each just 39. Such waste, such losses. America sure does know how to squander her greatness.

13. Ironic in the light of his statement that "you can't have capitalism without racism".

I'm sure that this online store will prove him wrong.
